Stressed
Thursday, March 31, 2005
I am SO stressed! It's a self-inflicted state of mind, of course. Isn't it always? There's too much swimming around in my mind. I'm operating on overload.
My focus in now on fulltiming in the 5th wheel; promoting biodiesel and solar energy; selling postcards; going places and seeing things and generally helping out whenever I can. I will remain poltically active by speaking out, and encouraging others to do the same. That's a MUST DO. Geez, what a mess.
But my focus is definitely not in my CUBICLE. Arghhh! Every additional hour of my precious life spent in that hole is a teeth gnashing experience. I wasn't born to rot in an office cell. I'm innocent, I tell you!!
Today, a truck driver offered to show me his damaged knees. I should have taken him up on that offer. It would have been a pleasant diversion from the usual. OK...anything is a pleasant diversion from the usual. The old guy's ugly knees got me to thinking about this picture: An old gal's ugly feet. I'm not really that old (50 in a couple of months)...but today I feel old and it sucks.
I have suggested that my workload and info overload are the cause of my stress, but maybe it is my fear of success...
Ah...this helps: "Be like the flower, turn your faces to the sun."

And this book helps, too: "The Murdering of My Years" by Mickey Z
